    Our server (Daniel) was fantastic. He was extremely efficient explaining all the specials and very attentive to our needs. What a fantastic place to have dinner. I had the special salmon with brussel sprouts and it was amazing.

    This was our first visit back with the new chef and the new general manager, and we were not impressed. We sat at our table for almost 20 minutes before the waiter even greeted us. We immediately ordered two drinks. The blueberry lemon drink that used to be delicious was terrible. And we ordered two appetizers which were fine. We waited another almost 30 minutes before the waiter came back and never offered to take our dinner order. We had to ask if we could order dinner. We split the fillet which tasted fine. But overall, our experience was underwhelming. We hope things improve for future visits.

    We are members of Santa Rosa and eat there occasionally when we are in town to meet our minimum. Dinners are much better than lunch although their salads are quite good. Last night we had appetizers, salads then entrees. The appetizers were tasty and the salad was good. The entrees were huge, and were just ok. My plate was luke warm but the steak was good. Would have been better if it was not smothered in brown gravy. The kitchen was very slow and we waited a long time for everything to come out. Our servers were nice and attentive. With some tweaks and a little more attention in the kitchen the experience would have been much better.

    We love Vue on 30A for its menu, food preparation and taste, and outstanding service. You cannot go wrong here for any occasion. My wife and I each had the special, which was blackened grouper over cheese grits with a shrimp-laden sauce that was to die for. Oh, and veggies which I gifted my wife. Since it was her birthday, the restaurant comped us a fabulous blackberry cobbler a la mode with a candle on top. As usual, this was a very good dining experience.
